Mitsuoka Motor Company to launch their classic Mitsuoka Roadster into the UK market

In mid June 2015, Mitsuoka Motor's "classic" Mitsuoka Roadster will be making its European debut as it launches in the UK under the exclusive distribution of T W White and Sons and will be on display in a number of their showrooms located across Surrey, South London and Kent.

Developed by pushing the boundaries of conventional design, the Mitsuoka Roadster completely revolutionises the World's expectations of a true modern day classic sports car. Featuring a British sporting design of elegant flowing lines, the Mitsuoka Roadster combines timeless styling with advanced levels of modern technology, safety and comfort.

The 2.0 litre Coupe is available with either a 6 speed manual transmission gearbox or a 6 speed automatic Powershift gearbox - which can be driven effortlessly in the auto mode selection or by using the easy paddle shift controls.

Rear wheel drive with an admirable high power to weight ratio, the Roadster is fully equipped with the latest technology, advanced safety features and modern conveniences. It sports the World's fastest power-retractable hard top - opening and closing in 12 seconds with just the flick of a switch.

Luxury heated leather seats are standard - as is automatic climate control air conditioning. Safety and security is at the forefront of the Roadsters design - four wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS) with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with Traction Control System (TCS) are all naturally standard, as are the front and side airbags and the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS).

Jen White, Mitsuoka Project Manager for T W White & Sons said, "The UK represents one of the largest classic car markets in the World. The unique design of the Mitsuoka Roadster draws inspiration from the classic Roadster heritage and combines this traditional styling with the latest state of the art technology."

"We share in the philosophy and passion of Susumu Mitsuoka and genuinely believe that the Mitsuoka Roadster can make a real impression on those that want exclusive luxury - albeit at a very competitive price," White said.
